That has been a trend in our parts also. Going back a few decades the snow would come in late October and last till mid-April with a rather short spring April/May,
but – through the later years there has been modest amounts of snow (compared to earlier years) and the spring have started late February till May.
That’s where I live!!! (We have an extremely long country!) In other parts of the country the snow have been lying 15-20 feet deep!!! Across the Hardanger mountain plains the snow levels (today) might be
exceeding 20 feet !!!

It depends a bit where in the country one live. Up north, there’s no daylight at all through the winter. Down here where I live, at least we have 4-6 hours of daylight through the winter.
But we don’t have daylight around the clock during summer, like up north!
